HTTP Server Use

Use of the built-in Python http.server is an easy way to get a webserver up and running. However the use of this construct SHOULD never leave your development environment.

Distributing Python programs and running this construct in a secure container is never recommended. Using insecure network paths and modules is a bad idea. Developing and testing can also be regarded as production, so just make use of Apache or NGINX e.g.
